New era potato chips? Yes, i am shouting!

I love this. I'd forgotten about the painted silos; I think there was at least one just north of Mt. Clemens on Gratiot. I paid actual money - maybe $3.00 - at an antique store for a New Era tin a while back. It promotes the chips as esily digested, and "on the alkaline side." As a kid reading those ads, that reminded me of the Tigers for some reason.

You hit it out of the park with that one.

Hehehe... you really need to ask why it reminded you of the Tigers....

Alkaline = Al Kaline

The reason is probably that the use of "alkaline" reminds you of the great Hall of Fame Tiger outfielder Al Kaline, who is still a Tiger broadcaster I believe. I don't get the Tiger games in California, but I have some New Era cans, one of which used to hold my marble collection.
